'It breaks my heart...They raised their expectations only to then leave them terribly disappointed,' said CBP Florida spokesperson Michael Silva.

The U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency's Florida office has said it was not responsible for forcing dozens of Bahamians fleeing the devastation of Hurricane Dorian to disembark from a rescue ferry headed to the Sunshine State because they did not have U.S. visas.

Silva said his office had informed the ferry company that it would need to transport evacuees fleeing the natural disaster to Nassau before heading to Florida, so that they could obtain visas to enter the U.S. "We would have definitely worked with this transportation company or any other transportation company to...facilitate this process," Silva said."CBP is not denying or discouraging evacuation efforts and we empathize with the plight of the Bahamian people."

Nope! It was DerangedDonald!

What have we become as a nation that we can not let 100 people that are in a country that has had a major event, to be comforted without restrictions? We can lift the restrictions for these people. Why did they get turned back?
